The Lessons

Marcus prides himself on being approachable, patient and most importantly structured with his guitar lessons, whether you’re a complete beginner or if you’ve been playing for years!

Please select your playing experience for further details on lessons.

Beginner

Marcus understands exactly what it feels like to be a beginner and will make 100% sure you feel comfortable at all times. There’s no need to feel worried or nervous when you come along for your first lesson.

Marcus’s lessons are structured to give the student a clear path when studying the guitar. Too many teachers jump between subjects with no real flow from lesson to lesson, ultimately resulting in the student growing frustrated from a lack of progress.

That’s not so with Marcus. You can rest assured that every lesson will have a purpose and a specific aim to push your playing forwards and get you achieving your guitar playing goals!

Marcus recommends syllabus from Rockschool and RGT. He teaches from introductory level/grade 1 up to grade 8. Exam grades are especially useful for students studying for GCSE’s, A-Levels and similar qualifications and can count towards UCAS points for those looking at courses in higher education.

You can rest assured your lessons will run at your own pace allowing you to maximise your lesson time without pressure!

Intermediate

You are competent in most of the key skills for playing guitar and would like to develop more advanced skills and stylistic expression.

Perhaps you’re a self taught guitarist and you have been playing the same songs/music for years, feel frustrated by lack of progress and want to learn new skills and techniques to take your playing to the next level.

You may have some performance experience with a band, or jam with a bunch of friends at school, college or work, or at a jam night at a club. You may even have dreams of one day being up on a big stage like your heroes (but even if you don’t aspire to being a superstar you would like to take your guitar out of the bedroom and play with other musicians or in front of other people) and would like to develop the skills and the confidence to do this.

Maybe you wish to play guitar in a particular style so you can play guitar like (insert your favorite guitarist here) and (insert your second favorite guitarist here).

Intermediate level guitar lessons can include sessions on the following: Performance skills, rhythm, lead and improvisation skills (the essentials you need to know for playing in a band or Jamming to backing tracks).
Reading and ear training skills (vital for learning new songs quickly and accurately).

Studying for intermediate grades (grades 3-5), or performance awards from RGT. Help with GCSE music assignments.
